Door To Door

Beyond Rangoon

Watched them both tonight - they are really impressive movies, for different reasons. Touching.

good stuff, haunting piece of film making

[flamingyouth]

2. Door to Door was amazing

We watched it on Christmas Day. I wept. Both William H. Macy and Helen Mirren were outstanding. What a great story. Haven't seen Beyond Rangoon, tho.

3. I loved Door to Door

what's Beyond Rangoon?

[holeinboatoutatsea]

4. it's about

a military takeover of what used to be Burma (now Myanmar) in the late 80's. It is based on a true story. An American woman becomes involved in the struggle. It is truly fascinating to watch.

7. Patricia Arquette was very good in the lead role.

Wasn't it directed by John Boorman, who directed Deliverance, Hope and Glory, Excalibur and the Emerald Forest to name a few?

10. I loved "Door to Door"

We rented it a few weeks ago . . . my 12-year old grumbled at first, but he was in tears by the end.

If Beyond Rangoon is that good then we'll rent it next!

Small independent movie but very good

13. Loved Door to Door, good acting. What a film is for, sometimes.

I remember Rangoon as very beautiful and dreamy.

Along the lines of Asian revolution, I have a crush on an oldie, "The Seventh Dawn" (William Holden, Capucine, Susannah York).
